OpenAudible FFmpeg builds

This fork creates ffmpeg/ffprobe binaries used for OpenAudible, an audibobook management desktop application.

These binaries only include the codecs, filters, and muxers that are needed for OpenAudible (mp3/m4b/m4a and cover artwork).

We add a small patch to allow additional metadata in m4a/m4b tags.

We produce binaries for Linux (x86_64), Mac (arm64 and x86_64), and Windows (x86_64).

Thank you to AcousticID for their ffmpeg-build github actions. Incredible to build 4 static binaries for ffmpeg in under 6 minutes.

Building is done using GitHub Actions. You can find the built binaries on the releases page.

Supported platforms:

  • Linux

    • x86\_64-linux-gnu

  • Windows

    • x86\_64-w64-mingw32

  • macOS

    • x86_64-apple-macos10.9 (macOS Mavericks and newer on Intel CPU)
    • arm64-apple-macos11 (macOS Big Sur and newer on Apple M1 CPU)

    To build universal mac binary, this needs to be done manually (for now) on an arm mac:

    mkdir -p mac
    lipo -create ./mac_x86_64/ffmpeg ./mac_arm64/ffmpeg -output ./mac/ffmpeg
    lipo -create ./mac_x86_64/ffprobe ./mac_arm64/ffprobe -output ./mac/ffprobe
